What does grace mean to you?

Sometimes it can be hard to recognize that we even need grace. I think overall, we understand the we have done wrong things in our lives, but it can be challenging to see the full extent of our need. It amazes me that God puts so much value on us, truly Loves (capitalization intentional) us to the extent that he does. In a world where love has come to mean the word by which sex becomes OK we have a savior who values us far more than that. We have a savior who wants to know us far more intimately than that. Grace is God saying He has already made things right. Grace is God telling you and I that the things we have done to hurt Him are no longer able to be used against us. That is the beauty and horror of the cross. We killed God and yet God willingly died.
